that depends on the decibels.

i.e. if you have a video or audio with low volume and at near max setting the volume is still relatively low, is not magically blow up your speakers.

I usually need to push the volume past 100% on a daily basis.
Is not clear to me why we can't do it from the indicator and need to open the settings.
This could be more discoverable. I also see my parents wanting to push volume up.


This was on one of the ubuntu surveys (i think for the volume indicator), so i figured it would be in the works along with a few other things?
I believe pushing the volume past 100% risks permanently damaging your speakers, which is why it isn't discoverable. If 100% is still too quiet, I suggest getting better speakers, since you're already at the max that they can safely produce.
